Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System

Chapter 124: Slap in the Face



"The instructors for this training camp have been drawn from various New Star Academies, and each of them has quite a temper."

"There seem to be a few instructors from the Wolf Party among them, be careful."

"Try to avoid conflicts with them."

Mo Ya turned to Su Tu and said seriously.

"Wolf Party?"

Su Tu looked at Mo Ya with some confusion, clearly not understanding what the so-called 'Wolf Party' was.

"Don't you ever look at the martial arts forum?"

"I do!"

"What about the politics section?"

"Uh..." Su Tu was stumped by Mo Ya's question. He usually only focused on the martial arts page and wasn't very interested in the Federation's politics section.

Mo Ya, seeing Su Tu's expression, knew he hadn't been paying attention. She sighed and began to explain.

"Currently, the Federation is divided into the Wolf Party and the Old Faction. The so-called Wolf Party advocates seizing everything, pursuing everything, replacing everything. They uphold the supremacy of strength, are more warlike, and believe that the Human Race still has many great enemies beyond the Star River who covet the Federation, and the Wolf Party wishes to charge out of the Star River to fight."

"The Old Faction, on the other hand, prefers stability and development. They believe that although the Federation has gone beyond the Star River, the steps taken over the years have been too large, and the foundation is insufficient. They should guard their essence and spirit, and make plans slowly."

Su Tu felt that these two factions were just conservatives and radicals.

But what had this to do with him?

Just as he was thinking this, Mo Ya continued to speak.

"Nowadays, some idiots outside of New Star look down on the Ancestor Star precisely because of the Wolf Party's theories. They worship advancement, worship conquest, worship the strong, and believe that everything backward should be discarded.

And the Ancestor Star has become their best counterexample."

"Though they haven't explicitly stated it, many of the Human Race of New Star have been influenced by them."

Upon hearing this, Su Tu suddenly understood.

The Ancestor Star has been secluded for these years, which has led to its significant lagging in technology and martial arts. In the eyes of those who fancy themselves as 'pioneers', the Ancestor Star is a symbol of backwardness.

And as the human root of mankind, the Ancestor Star holds a special status; an 'authority' with a special status being 'attacked' can resonate greatly, as already imaginable.

This kind of tactic was not uncommon in Su Tu's previous life.

"The Old Faction doesn't have any special stance on the Ancestor Star, but now the Wolf Party is powerful, and too many have been influenced by them. Actually, some big families are fine; they have a high standing and naturally clear sight,

But there are always those with not-so-bright minds who follow the trend."

Mo Ya explained to Su Tu.

The implication was to tell Su Tu not to be too impulsive and to hold back a little when things happened.

"I understand." Su Tu smiled, appreciating his classmate's kindness.

Indeed, many among the New Star people have prejudices against people from the Ancestor Star, like Chen Yuan, but not all, like Zhou Wuliang, Li Hu, etc.

But even though he understood, he couldn't help but feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Soon, the airship arrived near the Ancient Forest.

The intelligent AI system began controlling the airship for a steady descent.

"Those teachers have really bad tempers, let's walk over instead; no need to get embarrassed with an entrance like in TV dramas." Mo Ya shrugged.

This person was very interesting. Despite being born into an extremely wealthy family, she didn't have the slightest spoiled attitude and got along very well with her classmates.

An excellent businessperson should learn to assess and adapt.

These few words were vividly embodied in Mo Ya.

The two of them disembarked from the airship and headed toward the Ancient Forest.

This desolate primeval forest carried an inexplicable sense of oppression.

The towering trees seemed to press the sky, casting the forest in a dim light, emitting a rustling sound.

The sunlight spilling through the scattered branches brought about a strange feeling.

The entire Ancient Forest seemed like a monster with a gaping maw, lying on the ground, exuding an unsettling aura.

By the time Su Tu and the other person arrived, quite a few people had already gathered at the entrance of the Ancient Forest.

Each of these people emitted an extraordinary aura, their eyes seemingly flashing with brilliance, their eyebrows raised, radiating boundless confidence.

Unlike those martial artists encountered in front of the Martial Arts Department a few days ago.

Su Tu could sense that these people were true martial artists; each of their auras was exceptionally powerful, with a few whose qi was wildly surging.

They couldn't help but draw his attention as these people, like Su Tu, had opened all their apertures.

As Su Tu stepped among them, their gazes swept over as well. Facing these aggressive stares, Su Tu remained unfazed.

His eyes casually scanned the crowd, his pitch-black eyes like a deep cold pool, neither sad nor joyful.

"This person is not to be underestimated!" Immediately, such a thought surfaced in these people's minds.

Mo Ya looked around, her expression carrying a hint of confusion.

"That's strange, where are Luo Fan and the others?"

"Weren't we supposed to meet them according to the group chat?"

Mo Ya scanned the surroundings but didn't see any sign of Luo Fan and the others.

"Brother Luo and the others went ahead."

At this moment, a familiar voice rang out, revealing Xiong Laile, grinning from ear to ear, approaching the two of them.

"Boss!!" Xiong Laile greeted Su Tu.

"What's the situation now?" Su Tu inquired.

Xiong Laile ran to Su Tu's side, speaking in a low voice, "It seems there's some sort of array set up in this Ancient Forest. Once you enter, your heart and spirit will be sealed, and your qi will be locked in your apertures."

"You'll have to rely on technique and physical strength to get through the Ancient Forest, and if you can't reach the other side, you'll be eliminated."

"Brother Luo and the others were the first group to enter, and we still don't know what's happening inside."

Listening to Xiong Laile's explanation, Su Tu nodded.

He thought to himself that this training camp sure had many tricks; generally, martial artist training couldn't do without heart and spirit, and qi, separately testing technique and physical strength was rare.

"I heard you acknowledged a big brother on the Ancestor Star; I didn't believe it, but it turned out to be true."

"Tsk tsk tsk, with your personality, the Hundred Victories Bone must have suffered a lot following you, why not dig out the Hundred Victories Bone for me instead!"

A sharp voice interrupted Xiong Laile's words.

A pale-faced youth walked over from the front. His appearance bore some resemblance to Xiong Laile, but with drooping eyes, giving off a sinister vibe.

The whole person felt uncomfortable.

"Xiong Changwen, what the hell does my older brother have to do with you?"

"Not convinced, not convinced let's have a fight!!" Xiong Laile retorted, looking at the man.

"Hmph!! I don't care if you call him your older brother, but don't disgrace the Xiong family by recognizing a native as an older brother!"

The man snorted coldly and spoke.

The voice was not loud, but at the narrow forest entrance, everyone heard it clearly.

Immediately, the expressions of many local aristocratic descendants turned extremely ugly. Some New Star Martial Artists seemed dissatisfied with Xiong Changwen's words, but more New Star Martial Artists had expressions full of ridicule.

"You dare to insult my older brother, I'll tear your mouth apart!!"

Xiong Laile roared angrily, his whole demeanor was about to charge out.

But Su Tu, who had been silent all along, placed a hand on Xiong Laile's shoulder, preventing him.

Then, he stepped forward and came before Xiong Changwen.

Xiong Changwen was a little over five feet tall, appearing very small in front of Su Tu.

He glanced upwards at Su Tu with an annoying expression.

However, Su Tu's gaze was not on him but beyond him, directly looking into a corner.

"Don't waste time with such petty tricks."

"Only trash would use such outdated tactics."

Following his gaze, four or five people stood in that corner, led by a tall person with bulging muscles all over.

His aura was unconcealed, clearly someone with all acupuncture points opened, a true prodigy.

Xiong Changwen was initially among those people and suddenly jumped out to provoke, only wanting to test Su Tu's capabilities.

Normally, dealing with such problems would take one of two approaches: patience or teach Xiong Changwen a lesson to show strength.

But....

None of that appealed to Su Tu.

If you're going to make a statement, make a statement to the master. What's the point of dealing with the minion!

"He's causing you trouble, what's it got to do with me?"

"Or do you want to have a duel with me?" the strong young man said disdainfully.

"Yes, you native..."

Xiong Changwen felt as though he had received instructions from the young man's words and was about to continue speaking.

But, before he finished his sentence.

He only saw a large hand pressing straight towards his head. He held his breath, gathered his qi rapidly.

Strands of black qi intended to form armor, this was the Xiong family's ancestral technique, Xiong Laile had performed it before.

"Celestial Killer.."

But...

The hand seemed to have the weight of a thousand tons and casually suppressed, dispassionately extinguishing the Celestial Killer's force in an instant.

Su Tu grabbed Xiong Changwen's head and smashed it directly into the ground.

Fallen leaves scattered, startling countless birds in the Ancient Forest.

Xiong Changwen's whole head was buried in the soil, one leg involuntarily twitching.

No one expected that Su Tu would dare to act so boldly even before the Training Camp began.

Even the tall young man was taken aback.

This Training Camp held great importance, truly only a few with all their acupuncture points opened were worthy in his eyes, Su Tu's entrance was unexpected.

Before this, he only knew Su Tu came from Tayue Martial Arts Hall, unaware that Su Tu had opened all his acupuncture points, uncertain, he had Xiong Changwen test him first.

So long as Su Tu initiated his qi, there would inevitably be some hint revealed.

Whether Heart and Spirit level or a physical clue.

Indeed, he got what he wanted, but he didn't expect Su Tu to directly make a move.

What surprised him even more...

Swish!!

Swish!! Swish!! Swish!!

Su Tu's figure vanished from the crowd's view, leaving only residual shadows in place.

The tall young man instinctively sensed the danger, his eyes slightly narrowed, attempting to track Su Tu.

Bang!!

A terrifying force erupted instantly from behind him, his body twisted, arms crossing in front, blocking Su Tu's kick.

Splash!!

His legs rooted on the ground, forcing his whole body back, carving two deep tracks on the ground.

Su Tu observed this person with interest, very sturdy.

The sensation of the kick was like kicking a mountain, fundamentally immovable.

Hmm... a resilient punching bag.

The person's gaze towards Su Tu subtly changed.

"Damn!! What kind of monster is this, my Golden Armor almost got kicked apart."

"No, can't get into a conflict with him, or others will benefit!"

His eyes shifted, the Training Camp hadn't started, surely there would be combat practice afterward, not wanting now to clash with Su Tu and have others take advantage later.

"Brother, I'm Tuoba Yutian from the Tuoba family. Although I don't know what misunderstanding you have, let me apologize. How about that?"

Tuoba Yutian clasped his hands and spoke to Su Tu.

Many who knew him were somewhat surprised, he's from New Star, extremely arrogant, his Basic Skill honed to perfection, all 108 acupuncture points open, rumored to be attempting to break through body locks.

Such a person, actually apologizing to someone?

"Hmph!! A small lack of patience can spoil big plans, I, Tuoba Yutian, want to accomplish big things, need to understand patience, and define plans before acting!"

Tuoba Yutian thought proudly, at this moment he acknowledged Su Tu's remarkable strength, temporary patience wasn't a big deal.

But unfortunately... his so-called patience, to Su Tu... was nothing...

"If apologies worked, why would I bother learning martial arts?" Su Tu tilted his head and spoke very seriously.

The young man threw a punch forward, like a blazing sun high above, resonating with seven pulses, like a furious dragon soaring into the skies, slamming fiercely towards Tuoba Yutian's face!
